Looking at the outside of the stalk, I am not sure if there is anything to save or not, but wanted to turn to the experts.

Thanks for the help.

Give the stem the sniff test.
If it smells bad cut some more off.
Sometimes with those plants if you cut the stem it is just enough to release the krakken.
